Lynne and Barbara get into the minivan. Shortly after this picture was taken, we all drove up to Sequoia National Park.

The sounds (and smells) of unrestful animals pervaded the parking lot. The small sign on the left reads "Pacheco Creec Mining Co. Sluicing Operation and Rock Shop".

A small bird drinks — and possibly dines — at the pond. I'm not sure if it eats the fish; it seems a very small bird for that, but then again, some of the fish were very small as well.

Miniature train tracks lead a miniature train through a dangerous haunted tunnel, presumably for the enjoyment of children. Or possibly just to sate the sadistic urges of their parents.

More fish.

The danger from the haunted tunnel is primarily just being struck by the train.

A somewhat wider view.

The experienced traveler learns to note the location of restrooms wherever they appear. These are just across the street from the front entrance.

Just past the haunted tunnel is a small pond full of very small fish.

We didn't actually go in through the front entrance, which goes to the gift shop area. We went in through the side entrance, which takes you directly to the fruit.
